  1. Dismissed from my program less than a week before finals!!! Please Help!

    Scooter321 replied to MattiesMama's topic in General Students

    :yeahthat:Moogie, can we clone you? If not, how can I bribe you to come and teach at my CC? :bowingpur OP, here's hoping there's a good (and a just) outcome to this mess. You have my utmost sympathy...

  2. Made it through the first week of nursing school

    Scooter321 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    It's so great that you posted and wonderful that you had a good first week. It sounds exhausting, but I'm sure your body will soon get in the swing of things and you'll get used to the new sleeping...

  3. New Nursing Students age 50 and up

    Scooter321 replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    Same here, Renae. I really want my BSN (at least), but I'm taking baby steps, largely because of the cost. I have a daughter in college also, so I have to think of the costs involved in her education...

  4. Ok I am trying to keep tabs, all starting this fall say I

    Scooter321 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I dunno, but I must have been thinking it too. :smackingf I turn 52 in a few days and start NS on September 1st. We can be old fogies "together," at least virtually

  5. Example of Nursing School Notes? Pls help!

    Scooter321 replied to Cdnurstudent's topic in General Students

    I just spent some time on your page--very nice! I'm a bit of a "combo" too when it comes to styles of learning, but one of my favorite is to listen to podcasts and/or recordings of my classes. That...

  6. Made Incredibly Easy Books

    Scooter321 replied to shoebottom's topic in General Students

    I presume you're trying to buy this book, right? I'm pretty sure you can't actually download the book itself. Amazon has it in stock right now ......

  7. Did you get any real benefit from being in the Student Nurses Assoc.?

    Scooter321 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    :hehe: Believe me, it was toooo easy to become president of that small chapter, and I really did work for the perks. I'd be willing to do it again, but I have a feeling things will be pretty different...

  8. Shoes..?

    Scooter321 replied to nimchimpskii's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I know this answer is a bit late, but you might want to check with your school on that one. All ours said in print was "white shoes." Someone asked, during orientation, if open-back or sling-back...

  9. Did you get any real benefit from being in the Student Nurses Assoc.?

    Scooter321 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks DolceVita. I hope you do get something out of your membership. I'm going to look into it. I'm a "joiner" by nature. I joined my professional (medical transcription) association and quickly...

  10. Why aren't more tests/exams open book?

    Scooter321 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    Open-book tests have their place in some fields but not, IMO, in nursing school. I agree with the previous posters who talk about needing to really know, understand, and apply the information. I am a...

  11. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    Scooter321 replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    See post #607 of this thread and many of the subsequent replies. I have one and used it throughout my EMT course. I loved it and will probably use a combination of the pen and my netbook for nursing...

  12. Audio Leaning aides

    Scooter321 replied to nebrgirl's topic in General Nursing

    If you have an MP3 player, check out the free podcasts on iTunes. There are some terrific ones out there (also a few snooze-fests) on all kinds of subjects--nursing, EMT/paramedic, micro, A&P,...

  13. Did you get any real benefit from being in the Student Nurses Assoc.?

    Scooter321 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    Is it okay if I add my question to this thread? Are you guys talking about the national association, or would your state association be the way to go (if anything)? For those of you who like the idea,...

  14. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    Scooter321 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Y'know, you have a point there. I'm a transplanted Brit--been in New England for over 12 years now. Perhaps that's why the difference in pronunciation seems obvious to me. Now that you mention it...

  15. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    Scooter321 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    How about: Hairy Mary Merry Berry Marry

  16. New Nursing Students age 50 and up

    Scooter321 replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    I start in September, 2 weeks after my 52nd birthday. We had orientation the other day, and I was sitting with a woman (46) I know from doing my EMT ride-alongs a few months ago. When the department...

  17. Ok I am trying to keep tabs, all starting this fall say I

    Scooter321 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had orientation yesterday. Woo Hoo! I finally feel a part of the nursing program. Our classes don't start until Sept. 2nd, and I don't know which clinicals I have yet but do know the hours of the...

  18. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    Scooter321 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    I can only speak for myself of course, but there's no way I would be browsing the internet, playing games or chatting while in class. Media? Really? I'm speechless.

  19. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    Scooter321 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    Thank you SO much--that's really kind of you. I will definitely use this.

  20. LOL... test questions !

    Scooter321 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    It was just before Christmas, and we were working on our micro final. You could have heard a pin drop. All heads down, frantic scribbling going on, agonized expressions. You get the picture. At the...

  21. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    Scooter321 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    I could have written this! I'm a medical transcriptionist (so type faster than I can write) who works from home on a 17" laptop. It weighs about a ton, and it is so full of work anyway (I teach MT...

  22. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    Scooter321 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    I didn't have much luck Googling for PP2One, unfortunately. All the links I came up with seem to be dead. I wonder if it is really necessary though. I have OneNote (just starting to get to know it...

  23. Thats IT !!! Im Sick of it !!!!

    Scooter321 replied to LeesG's topic in General Students

    The patch gave me the most incredibly vivid dreams. I have never known anything like it before or since. I can still remember in detail a couple of them, and they were years ago! If it's a fun dream,...

  24. Thats IT !!! Im Sick of it !!!!

    Scooter321 replied to LeesG's topic in General Students

    Good for you, OP! After smoking for about 30-plus years (started as a young teen) and many attempts to quit, I stopped about 5 years ago with the help of Commit Lozenges. I didn't like the taste of...

  25. Skecher, run small or large?

    Scooter321 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Could anyone tell me how Skechers fit? I'm thinking of buying a pair of their Premix Slip-On Sneakers ......
